Thread: Online Masters Degrees in Math or Applied Math

I've done a graduate diploma in Math from the University of Southern Queensland and am looking for schools that offer an online Master's in math. I know there are several that offer statistics(which I may pursue), but are there any in math or applied math?

University of Washington has an excellent online Masters in applied math -- UW Online Master's in Applied Mathematics

This thread also has tons of useful information -- Loads of DL Math / Statistics BA and MA / MS Options!

If you don't mind dropping $50,000, you can get a Master's in Applied Math from Columbia University: http://www.cvn.columbia.edu/app_math_MS.php

Texas A&M has a Master of Science in Mathematics 100% online: Distance Masters of Science in Mathematics

	Concordia University - Portland Concordia University - Portland Located in Portland, Oregon, Concordia University is a private, Christian, liberal arts university. The school offers a variety of online degrees, including an MBA, Masters in Education with specialties in ESOL, Curriculum Instruction, Methods of Leadership, Science, Reading, and Special Education. The school is regonally accredited, the most widely recognized form of accreditation. Click Here to receive FREE information on this school. [/center]

Thanks for the great advice. Would the most rigorous be the Columbia program? My friend did the Texas A and M program and said it was easy. I want the applied math but, I'm fearing that it might be a little much.

So you look at the delivery method, then you look at the length of the courses, then you look at the faculty, then you look at the employment success of the alumni, then, most importantly, you look at the cost. The fact that your friend said it was easy doesn't mean you'll have the same experience. Different aptitudes, diffeent teachers , you can't go 100% on others experiences.

	Education Degrees Education Degrees Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults. Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods •Public school teachers must be licensed, which typically requires a bachelor's degree and the completion of an approved teacher education program; private school teachers do not have to be licensed but may still need a bachelor's degree. •Job prospects are best for teachers in high-demand fields, such as mathematics, science, and bilingual education, and in less desirable urban or rural school districts. •Teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand students' educational and emotional needs.

Kizmet, How does one find the employment success of the alumni? I've tried to find these stats but I have not been successful.

Hi. I sent you a PM about the Texas A&M program. Thanks!

USQ used to have a Master of Science (Professional Mathematics/Statistics) program, which is discontinued. Did You talk with them about Your furher study options ? They still have statistics lecturers.

Thanks for the PM, I replied to that too. The brief answer is to simply contact the Alumni Relations department of the college that interests you.

Also, what about Texas A&M's MS Mathematics online program for in-state vs out of state tuition for online students?

What is the precedence here?

I did read up on UWF and they have a waiver you can earn every semester to receive in state tuition for online students. They have the best deal, but have indicated they will be raising their rates. Bummer.

I am looking to earn an MS Masters Mathematics so I can upgrade what I can teach at my community college (teaching adjunct now) and maybe actually receive a faculty job someday! I have a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering and most of the programs seem to think that the Engineering programs provide enough math background and would let me in with taking minimal to no prerequisites. Any thoughts or comments on my plan are welcome!

Thanks!

	Engineering Degrees Engineering Degrees Engineers apply the principles of science and mathematics to develop economical solutions to technical problems. Their work is the link between scientific discoveries and the commercial applications that meet societal and consumer needs. Many engineers develop new products. During the process, they consider several factors. For example, in developing an industrial robot, engineers specify the functional requirements precisely; design and test the robot's components; integrate the components to produce the final design; and evaluate the design's overall effectiveness, cost, reliability, and safety. In addition to their involvement in design and development, many engineers work in testing, production, or maintenance. These engineers supervise production in factories, determine the causes of a component’s failure, and test manufactured products to maintain quality. They also estimate the time and cost required to complete projects. •Starting salaries are among the highest of all college graduates. •Employment is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations, although growth will vary by specialty; overall job opportunities for engineers are expected to be good. •A bachelor's degree in engineering is required for most entry-level jobs, but some positions may require a graduate degree.

Hi There, I am think to study the USQ Graduate Diploma in Maths. Could you please share some information about the support and the course? Are they really good?

Thanks

theronin, I have been researching the Texas A&M program so quite some time. I really wish that I could talk to someone that went through the program. Could you have your friend contact me???
